856 The Fate of Ancient Warriors Part 3 (1/2)

The elemental stone statues blocked the exit of the cabin. Stone statues created by grade-9 spells could not be collapsed easily. When the ancient warriors charged forward and pierced their lances through the abdomen of the stone statue soldiers, the shafts turned into stone instantaneously. The red light flickered, and the long lances broke. The stone statue soldiers swung their fists at the warriors, who quickly retreated back into the cabin.

Saleen had already taken out his magic staff and two rows of magic light shone. A grade-8 spell and a grade-9 spell appeared outside of the metal cabin door at the same time. When the ancient warriors at the rear dashed out, the two spells locked onto their targets.

The spells were Frosty Thorns and Soul Fossilization.

The red aura on the legs of the second ancient warrior that charged out was struck by the spells. It dimmed, and in an instant, both legs were tangled up in frosty thorns and became frozen.

His body was struck by Soul Fossilization and the tainted blood armor turned green in color. Saleen stepped forward and under the protection of the six towering stone statue soldiers, approached the warrior who had been fossilized. He inserted a shard of Eternal Control into the forehead of the warrior.

Nailisi rushed to Saleen's side and threw the warrior into the Purgatory of Ice. It would take three to five days to see the effects of utilizing Eternal Control that way.

The stone statue soldiers did not wield any weapons and continued to block the cabin entrance and the ancient warriors. The six of them were up against yet another grade-9 warrior that had just regained consciousness and they managed to fossilize him as well. Again, Saleen inserted a shard of Eternal Control into the forehead of the warrior.

In the instant when the shard of Eternal Control was inserted into the body, the soul that was on the brink of being dissipated quickly dove into the shard, as if it was quietly catching its breath there.

Once again, the second grade-9 warrior was also thrown into the Purgatory of Ice to wait for Eternal Control to take effect.

What they were doing was actually very risky. Saleen was a mage yet had to get so close to the body of the grade-9 warrior in order to insert the shard. If the stone statues made any mistakes, Saleen would be in grave danger.

Two of the six elemental stone statue soldiers stood behind Saleen, one on the left and one on the right. When the third warrior charged out, the two stone statue soldiers attacked from both sides, but the warrior suddenly increased his speed and the stone fists missed their target totally. The warrior's long lance was coming towards Saleen's abdomen and managed to pierce through multiple layers of water shield before finally coming to a stop at the Ice Plate Armor.

Saleen tried to back off, but Nailisi managed to use her tail to wrap around his waist and pull him behind her.

The ancient warrior's long lance lost its target. The red aura on the tip became intense and shot towards Nailisi's eyes like a serpent. Nailisi took two steps back before the stone statue soldiers smashed at the long lance with their fists.

Saleen remained calm and took out another magic staff. He only had sixty magic staffs at the moment and had wanted to give them to his followers. Regardless of if they had advanced into sorcerers or not, he would give each of them a strong magic staff as a form of congratulation. The magic staffs already stored magic spells and were meant to be used in the Oceanic Ice Block. In order to control the ancient warriors on the combat vessel, Saleen had no choice but to use them.

Nicholas and Eleanor were more nervous than Saleen. When the ancient warrior's long lance pierced into Saleen's Ice Plate Armor, Eleanor almost shot her arrow and Nicholas almost cast his divine spell. On the other hand, after Saleen was saved by Nailisi's tail. He calmly took out a new magic staff and cast another grade-9 spell, which was Absolute Zero.

The water puppet had mixed feelings as he watched Saleen battling. Saleen wanted him to learn how to treasure his own life more, yet Saleen himself was fighting against a grade-9 opponent. Saleen was a mage and not a swordsman.

The water puppet carefully observed Saleen and every move he made. Ever since he signed the bond, he was no longer able to obtain Saleen's thoughts and could only send information to Saleen. In his eyes, Saleen became an even bigger and more impressive figure…

Suddenly, the water puppet crossed both his hands and performed a complicated magic gesture. A Frosty Thorn tangled the legs of another warrior that had managed to dodge the stone statues' fists.

Saleen smiled. He did not need to speak much to the water puppet. The water puppet would gradually learn about what kind of person Saleen was. All of the water puppet's magic abilities came from him, so what other choice did he have?

Fortunately, Saleen received guidance from Jason at the crucial moment when he was about to advance to grade-9. That was when he understood the weakness of his magic and began to change his attitude towards battles.

Two grade-8 mages and six grade-9 elemental creatures were blocking off ancient warriors in a narrow opening. Grade-8 and grade-9 spells appeared one after another. Saleen and the water puppet worked well with each other and never considered the possibility of retreating. They were determined to make sure that the ancient warriors would be blocked in the cabin and would not be able to attack all at once.

All twenty-four shards of Eternal Control had been inserted into the ancient warriors. The warriors were thrown into the Purgatory of Ice while the remaining four ancient warriors were killed, and their corpses were also thrown into the Twelve Notes of Purgatory.

Saleen used up half an hour's time to settle the forty warriors. Twelve of the elemental stone statue warriors had been destroyed, and when Saleen finally terminated the spell, there were still another twelve elemental stone statue soldiers waiting outside of the cabin for Saleen's commands.

Saleen was full of mental strength and could control even more warriors, except that he did not have enough time. After the fleet had traveled the circumference of the Oceanic Ice Block for a few days, they could finally see the gigantic glacial sheet from a distance.

They had finally reached the Oceanic Ice Block.
